Post Moved to 7 Conspiracy Theories.

I have to admit, it takes alot of time to look like this. "I kid, I was born this way". All of my life I have been struggling with my weight, although it's been more of a I have curves and she doesn't, so why do I feel like the one that doesn't fit in.

It took along time for me to comfortable with myself at a size 10-12, with a larger bust, and rockin hips. Well, when you are this size, you know it's hard to find the right fitting apparel or bras for that matter. I was spending over $40.00 on one bra from VS. I was getting frustrated with the amount of choices and lack of quality that were offered for women that actually looked like women.

Being that I buy many of my clothes online from private companies, I went on a hunt looking for another site that specialized in fuller figured clothing. I hit the jackpot and found SimplyBe, a site that specializes in fuller figured females.

Their sizes range for a 12 to a 32, which was perfect for me considering I like my clothes a bit more loose and flowing. I personally was looking for light fabrics considering it's close to the nineties her in Florida now.

My favorite find was an adorable Crochet Trim Maxi Dress in white that was perfect for going to the beach or out to dinner, or of course, walking around on the campus for summer classes. In fact, I liked it so much, I'm planning on buying another.

I was also looking for those adorable babydoll shirts that are so easy and comfortable during the summer months, and a found so many options in different colors and fabrics.

SimplyBe gives their customers so many wonderful options to look their best no matter what their size. All of you know how difficult it is to find the perfect fitting clothing for your particular body type, and I mean everyone. I was thrilled to find a site that gave me more options as a fuller figured female.

Chan Lee Peng explains why these diseases are not just killer plagues, they’re the deadliest and most horrible diseases that have damaged human life. Indeed, these horrible diseases have left the world in awe!

This article is the fifth series of these dreadful and horrible diseases. In this series, Chan focus's on some highly contagious viruses that cause deadliest and horrible diseases.
Viruses are microbes that are smaller than any bacteria. Typically, viruses are composed of a core of either RNA or DNA surrounded by a protein coat. Tobacco mosaic virus (TMV) for example, consists of one single long RNA molecule (6,000 nucleotides) surrounded by a cylindrical protein coat (2130 pieces of the same coat protein), while T4 bacteriophage consists of a DNA molecule which is tightly packed into one protein head.

Recently, I have been playing with blogger templates, and I'm feeling quite limited with the choices that I have. I think when I initially started Friends Revolution, I wanted to keep it simple since I knew nothing about html codes, SEO practices, keywords, you get the gist.

Well, I was remembering several years ago when I set up my website for my restaurant using a web hosting service. I think what really sold me on this was the many options I never really knew I had. This was my very first time setting up a website, and I needed specific directions to present my menu, posts, and other pertinent information that pertained to my restaurant in a well formatted template. Hosting my website allowed me to do all of this.

The main reason I choose web hosting over a normal blog was because of some advice I received from a friend of mine that was a web designer. He explained to me the importance of owning my own domain and having the easy options with a web hosting service to go in a make updates to the blog myself.

I do own my domain at the present time, however I am trying to make the transition to a web hosting service that will allow me to add in a slide show of my present articles, a forum, and well, I just need more options and room for my creativity.

If you are planning on making the change from a normal blog to a website, that I suggest looking into some web hosting sites. You will have so many options to make your site a success like:

• full reign over the template
• forum and free domain set up
• free yahoo marketing
• free Google adwords
• SEO assistance
  

My fiance and I just celebrated 7 years together and I was trying to think of the perfect gift for him. I told him I was cooking up something special, since I always try to be creative when I give gifts.

This year I went all out. However, I was still looking to save some money, so I decided to purchase some cheap tickets to the Ultimate Fighting Championship at the Mandalay Bay Events Center in Las Vegas, NV on Jul 11, 2009. I figured, I had never been to Las Vegas before, and I know I wanted to see some shows while we were there.

Now, being that this was a celebration of our relationship, I wanted to do something for myself, so I searched Red Line Tickets for music concerts at the same time. This could take all day!

There are so many options for different venues at Red Line Tickets that I couldn't even decide which one to go to. I searched their listing's in the rock category, and can you believe there were over 100 concerts going on at the same time. Of course, not all of them were in Vegas, but I was too busy finding seats at concert halls here in Florida.

Overall, I think Red Line Tickets offers many quality options for your ticket needs, and the prices are competitive, and I should know, I am always buying tickets for my husbands son. He's seen 12 concerts this year.

Erik’s works transpire in Gothenburg, Sweden where he controls every aspect of his incredible site ALLT ELLER INGET. Erik is making still life come alive with color variations, animated artistry, and one a kind form. His gruesome images are some of the most bizarre and unsettling I have ever seen.

Filip Kulisev

A couple months ago, I discovered this photographer when I was searching for information about Geological sites and landscapes. I think what initially had me hooked from the start with Filip Kulisev was his slide show of photography, accompanied with the solid sounds of triumph. I was enthralled with his landscape images, ones in which I sat for a straight hour pining over. Filip Kulisev was born in Bratislava in 1973 and graduated with a degree in tourism. His company “Amazing Planet” is a worldwide leader in art calendars, selling to top companies around the globe. Filip gained national recognition when he won first place in 2006 in the “Wildlife” category at the Fuji film European Press Professional Awards.

Al Magnus

This Imaginative photographer brings fantasy to life with his whimsical and natural talents. Not only does this artist possess a PhD, working in the fields of Chemistry and Physics, but he uses that scientific knowledge to create dreamlike images, works that exist only in your imagination.

In an issue of Digital Photo Pro Magnus states “For me, ‘science’ means the joy of discovering, a permanent false naivety, and above all putting oneself in a mental state of ‘to be surprised at any time.’ These conceptions definitely can be seen in my pictures. But I could also add ‘doubt’ and ‘uncertainty.’ I have such an approach to life, in general, and I believe the ‘imagination’ you see is the result.”

Simon Chaput

One of the most amazing discoveries for me is to find artists like Simon Chaput that can bring the geological environment to film, making it look like you can step right into the picture. Simon was born in France in 1952 and now lives in New York. He travels extensively around the world, photographing sites that bring solitude and calmness to the people that are able to look upon them with an open mind. His personal works include a suite of Stone Observatories in India, definitely my favorite, as well as a modernistic approach to the architecture in Manhattan. I just adore artists that can bring nature to life using nothing but a camera and their imagination. It’s truly a gift.

What initially struck my interest with this artist was her ability to transform Turkish women into symbols, capturing what they represent in a country that apparently has skewed images of a woman’s strength and abilities.

I was watching Twister for about the hundredth time this year, and I was just imagining what it would be like to actually see one of these monstrous beasts up close. I think my fascination about these acts of nature is that that are completely out of our hands and an act of God, Mother nature, the gods; whomever felt like ripping the exterior shudders of the houses that day.

Tornado's are violent, dangerous, "rotating column of air which is in contact with both the surface of the earth and a cumulonimbus cloud or, in rare cases, the base of a cumulus cloud."

The majority of tornado's reach wind speeds of up to 110 mph, and travel many miles before ever dissipating. When these storms reach speeds of up to 300mph, I suggest looking for another place to hide besides your bathtub because these types of tornado's will stay on the ground for dozens of miles.

Most of the Tornado's on record have occurred in the United States, although they do commonly occur in southern Canada, south-central and eastern Asia, east-central South America, Southern Africa, northwestern and southeast Europe, western and southeastern Australia, and New Zealand.

Wiki History

"The most extreme tornado in recorded history was the Tri-State Tornado, which roared through parts of Missouri, Illinois, and Indiana on March 18, 1925. It was likely an F5, though tornadoes were not ranked on any scale in that era. It holds records for longest path length (219 miles, 352 km), longest duration (about 3.5 hours), and fastest forward speed for a significant tornado (73 mph, 117 km/h) anywhere on earth. In addition, it is the deadliest single tornado in United States history (695 dead).^[15] It was also the second costliest tornado in history at the time, but has been surpassed by several others non-normalized. When costs are normalized for wealth and inflation, it still ranks third today.^{" [76]}

Philadelphia is home to some of the most famous historical artifacts and destinations in the country. Not only that, I was born not too far from this incredible city in 1977, when industry was king and homes cost a fraction of what they cost now.

Philadelphia was in a central location in the colonies which made it an innate center for America's Revolutionaries. “The city itself hosted the First Continental Congress before the war, the Second Continental Congress, which signed the United States Declaration of Independence, during the war, and the Constitutional Convention after the war.”

Not only that, during the 19^th century, Philadelphia was home to some of the most recognizable captains of industry including William Cramp and Sons Ship and Engine Building Company, Baldwin Locomotive Works, and the Pennsylvania Railroad. One of my favorite historical events in Philadelphia was in 1876 when the US Centennial was celebrated, along with the very first official World's Fair in the United States.

Philadelphia never falls short of entertaining its guests, providing historical sites and landmarks including the famous Liberty Bell, a symbol for our independence and the American Revolutionary War. Also on display is a statue of Rocky Marciano, the heavyweight champion of the world from 1952-1956 and many sculptures and tributes to the enormously important Benjamin Franklin.

In 1793, Franklin set forth a scheme for The Academy and College of Philadelphia. “He was appointed president of the academy in November 13, 1749, and it opened on August 13, 1751. At its first commencement, on May 17, 1757, seven men graduated; six with a Bachelor of Arts and one as Master of Arts. It was later merged with the University of the State of Pennsylvania to become the University of Pennsylvania.”

Today, Philadelphia remains a captain of industry contributing to healthcare, food processing purveyors, biotechnology, tourism, oil refinement, and tourism. If you are planning a a historical trip this summer, make sure you put Philadelphia on your list.

Every holiday I tell myself that I'm going to start shopping early. I wanted to get all the stress out of the way so I could focus on school. The problem is, I'm the type of shopper that puts alot of thought and creativity into my gifts.

I would try to go to several sites, shopping for everyone on my list, but the problem was that I was paying the double the amount in shipping charges for purchasing one thing at each and every site. Well, as of right now, I am looking for the best bargain along with the best shipping charges and I want it all on one site.

As a Chef, I am always looking for the latest in mixers, small wares, processors, flatware, etc.

I found that site! It's only taken me ten years to find it, but it's here. Where else on the web can you find a site that crawls over 180,000 stores, providing you with every option, optimizing you savings and happiness.

This revolutionary site also features "more than 1,300 wiki buying guides, as well as highly acclaimed Search by Color technology and user-generated Video Reviews."

So, if you haven't started shopping this year for any of your special occasions, I suggest sprinting over to this new Shop online website. I'll be right back........................

My nephew's birthday is coming up and and all he ever talks about is becoming a police officer. He's at that age now that he likes acting like he's in the CIA or he's on a stakeout. Well, I decided to surprise him with some 5.11 Tactical gear that I found on this really wicked site.

I figured he still had some growing to do before he could slip into some of the apparel, but I made sure he had some cool sunglasses, high tech gloves, and a super snazzy watch. The prices were really reasonable, however when my fiance caught a glimpse of the Black hawk apparel and gear, our order got a bit bigger. I even ordered a baseball cap for myself.

I think my obsession with this type of gear comes from watching way to many CSI episodes. Hey, I can dream can't I.

I am sure this is going to be a huge surprise to my Anatomy professor Dr. Lovell as well as my Geology Instructor Dr. Woodall in the Science Department at Daytona State College, both of which were amazing. Well, I have decided to switch gears a bit.

It's not as though I am changing my career path, rather I am making it a bit more interesting. I had spoken with a couple of professors at Daytona State College about an Archaeology program, and I do know for sure that Psychology Instructor Amy Osmon, who was incredible, is getting her masters in Archaeology.

However, I have decided to combine being a Doctor with Archaeology. So it sounds simple right? I want to apply to Medical School and become an MD, however I want to be a Doctor that is able to work on site at Archaeological digs. How's that for a new type of Doctor?

It just seems to keep getting more and more complicated. I feel as though I have been a bit to indecisive lately, so I have decided to write it down on this blog, I have signed up online for the necessary classes at Daytona State College: Chem 1 & 2 Physics 1& 2 Trig, Calc, and the list goes on and on.

I think what initially made me change my direction was that for the past year, and I know I have already told all of you about my experiences with the restaurants, it's been a struggle. I think all of you can relate. People are losing their jobs and the only field right now that is still in demand is medical. I have to do what is necessary to be successful.

So, if you had the choice to make a huge change right now to another field, would all of you do it? And if you would, what would you become?

By the way, don't forget to apply for your foundation scholarships

RJ evan over at Webphemera brings us another fascinating read about about the wonderful world of the Swallowtail Butterfly.

"Although not restricted to the Old World, Papilio machaon occurs throughout Europe, Asia and North America. However, the alternative name, the Common Yellow, although more accurate, has less of the natural glamour that the insect itself exhibits. The black vein markings give the butterfly a striking appearance. The name of the insect is, of course taken from the swallow like tails which protrude from the hind wings. Caught wonderfully in this shot you can see the red eye spots at the base of each tail. The caterpillar, for its own safety against predators, spends the first part of its existence looking like bird guano. This is a real ugly duckling to swan scenario, then."

Coconut Crab: A Very Large Land Crab

These are the largest arthropod in the world and likely near or at the upper limit of how large land crabs with exoskeletons can be. They not only look a lot like the common hermit crab only much larger, when they are juveniles they do in fact wear disposable shells just like hermit crabs do. They discard these shells for increasingly larger ones until they attain a size and tenure and no longer require them. Then they discard the borrowed shell, and their soft body part hardens and they no longer require the 'house' shell. Read More

Bizarre and Beautiful Species Found in Nature

The traits that occur within these species are directly proportional to the gene pools that exist in the ecological balance. The more these species mate and live within these pools; the more of the dominant traits will remain causing an outpouring of these particular species to populate.

I stumbled upon these rare beauties accidentally when I was researching my own Sable wolf. The markings were truly phenomenal, consisting of light golden fur, orange stripes, and very pale legs. The colors are derived from a recessive gene that creates a somewhat strawberry color variation. Read More

Today is the fourth day of down pours and flooding. On my way to school today, my car was covered about halfway with water after the Tuscaloosa park overflowed onto the main road.

While I was driving, I had the opportunity to see all of the destruction of homes, businesses, and many other retail venues. I think what really hit me hard were the people that were in low lying areas. Their cars were completely covered with water and their homes had water halfway up the windows.

The Red Cross and several churches are asking for help for these unfortunate people that have lost their homes, vehicles, and all their personal belongings. They are asking for clothing, especially socks, blankets, and anything other necessary articles.

If you can help, if you have the ability to at all, please send what you can.

For about a month now, I have neglected my food blog the Unorthodox Chef because of my experiences with the restaurants. I felt very resentful and I had lost all hope in the system. As of yesterday, everything has finally been put behind me.

I still believe when I wrote about the American Dream and how that pertained to me, I was being completely truthful. No one ever told me what I really needed to know in Culinary School. Giving someone the basics and making them chop carrots for 2 weeks straight sure did prepare me to do payroll and taxes. HAH!

I did, however, want to reintroduce my food blog which has been around a little while now. The one thing I really love about the Unorthodox Chef is that is combines my edgy attitude with some pretty bizarre recipes and stories of my restaurant experiences.

If you love Friends Revolution, you're going to love this blog.

Now, without further a due, I wanted to reintroduce the Unorthodox Chef

Life is defined by the choices we make. Sometimes the best way to find ourselves is to take the rocky path that is paved with overgrown weeds and filled with holes. Society places limitations on individuals to choose the right path in order to follow the crowd, or rather satisfy the standards of the society as a whole. There are rules that dictate how people live their lives, but it’s up to them to stand strong and own what is rightfully theirs.

In Emily Dickinson’s piece Much Madness is divinest sense, the path of righteousness is clearly the main topic of the prose. The author states, “Assent—and you are sane--, Demur—you’re straightway dangerous”, this alludes to the choice of good and evil (Dickinson 1). We all have a path to travel, and sometimes the road less traveled is the one that defines our entire lives. However, in the case of Emily Dickinson’s piece, there are consequences to choosing the wrong path. There is no room for unconformity; there is only discrimination and intolerance when a person chooses the wrong set of ideals.

In contrast, Alma Luz Villanueva’s poem Crazy Courage conveys a much deeper feeling of acceptance and an emphasis on being distinctive. There is unmistakably no judgment placed upon the man that comes to his fiction class one day as a man, and the next as a woman. The professor still see’s a man hiding under the feminine miniskirt, bright purple tights, a scooped-neck blouse, carrying as single red rose (Villanueva). There is a sense of adoration and acceptance towards this man, as the crowd is full of younger adolescents that have seen it all, being they are of the MTV crowd (Villanueva). A crowd that remains un-shocked when this man is showcasing his talents, rather than himself.

When it comes to discrimination and conformity, these poems are quit distinctive in their stance on the subject. In Dickinson’s piece, on the last line she states “handled with a chain”, as if there is no other option for choosing the wrong path (Dickinson). There will no acceptance for an ungodly way, a sinner’s life, or a darkened soul. The poem is completely one sided, which makes complete sense considering it was written years before a time that more accepting to outwardly diverse individuals.
However, in the piece by Villanueva, the professor openly hugged the man goodbye, his faced blossoming with delight, setting apart the pain of the situation, the crazy courage that it takes to be whole (Villanueva).

These poems both reminded me of the “The Road Not Taken”, written by Robert Frost. This piece is a clear depiction of conformity and discrimination, however the main character in the piece decides to take the road less traveled, and this has made all the difference (Frost 633).

Life is defined by the choices we make. Sometimes the best way to find ourselves is to take the rocky path that is paved with overgrown weeds and filled with holes. Otherwise, you can always take the straight path that leads to an easy life; however this life will be no different than the person walking beside you.

Some of my best memories were spent in Michigan, up in the UP with my Mom and Step dad. However, on my last visit, I made the long drive in my 3-door Saturn and I decided this time, I was going to fly. I figured it was the perfect time to get a reasonable flight, so I looked for an Expedia Coupon at Findsavings.com.

The moon has only been accessible for decades, rather than hundreds of years. However, in the short time available to humanity it is estimated that we have left over one hundred and seventy thousand kilos of debris on the surface of our once pristine satellite.

Luna 2 - 1959

 If HG Wells and others were correct and there were civilizations on the moon then they would have expelled a communal gasp of horror in 1959 when the first piece of man made technology hit the moon dust. Looking now like some steampunk version of what we regularly send spinning in to space, Luna 2 was launched by the Soviets when the Cold War was at its height. The collision with the moon at least proved one thing - that our nearest neighbor in space has no appreciable magnetic

It seems as though the blogosphere is buzzing with Freedom and Government talk. Of course, considering I had the pleasure of ruffling some feathers with my American Dreams piece, I have found another quality, opinionated article that strikes you where it hurts.

So there was a bit of a hubbub over Rick Sanchez’ remarks on April 28th when interviewing Senator Jim DeMint R-S.C. There was a clip on the Daily Show and it was chatted up on both sides of the blogosphere. The exchange goes like this:

Rick Sanchez: He (Sen. Arlen Spector) seems to be saying that Republicans are making it very difficult for other Republicans to win because - and he said this several times, you tell me what you think of it - you’re shrinking the electorate to an extreme where a regular republican can’t win.

Sen Jim DeMint: That’s quite the opposite. We’re seeing across the country right now Read More

I have received many personal messages about my experiences with my restaurants and I wanted to make it a bit more clear to everyone as to why my Culinary education did not prepare me at all for owning a restaurant.

I understand that when you choose to become a Doctor, Lawyer, or any profession that requires higher education, well that's a bit different. It is necessary to have an educational background to be successful in these fields.

However, in my case, when I attended Culinary school, there were no classes about setting up your business as an S-Corp, C-Corp, Liability, etc. There were no classes on Sales-tax numbers, EIN #'s, you get the gist.

Had I known that I would have had to secure my whole entire restaurant in a specific way so that I was not personally liable if anything ever happened, well I would have done it. I want to be honest though, I was 24 when I owned my first restaurant. I knew nothing about these types of things. Furthermore, I didn't have a lawyer or the money to pay for one, so that responsibility fell on me and my partner.

When the economy caved in and everyone of my customers were losing their jobs, I started caving. When people have to choose eating in as opposed to eating out, that's the end of the small restaurant. What's worse is that I refinanced my home to obtain the funds to open up the restaurant in the first place.

Needless to say, even in the end, I still managed to pay all my employees before myself, resulting in the foreclosure of my home, and the loss of everything that I had. Try dealing with all of that before you're 30 and tell me if you think the Government, Economy, or our Society has failed you.

Now, on a side note, I have gone back to school to become a Doctor. I have no intentions of going back to restaurants anytime soon.

I hope that answers some questions any of my readers may have had. I am not sorry that I was able to be such a young business owner that operated for years successfully. I'm not saying that I am ungrateful. However, when it comes to my situation, Culinary School did not prepare me to be creative or to have drive. I had that before I ever started.

I'm not tearing down education because I am back in school trying to start over. What I am saying is that it's not always necessary.

Everyone in America has high hopes of achieving the American dream, whether it's by owning and operating one's own business, having a family, or seeking higher education. However, there are obstacles put in place to encumber your hopes and goals - hurdles that can't be overcome by just being the strongest person you can be.

When did women come to a point that they were satisfied being completely ordinary, not wanting to reach for more success or a more enriching life? Women have come to the conclusion that writing a memo for a boss making five times more than they are is completely fulfilling, especially considering they spent four years in college getting a degree in business along with attending night classes to improve their typing skills.

This brings me to the fact that if you are coming to America with the high hopes of obtaining the American Dream, is it necessary to have an education? In my case, college did not prepare me for the business I owned and lost for the sole reason of our weakening economy and lack of social structure. I had no tools to arm myself when the business started to falter. My American Dream was ripped from my clutches and all of the money that I spent in college to prepare me for this moment just felt like a big waste of time. Read More

Looks are deceiving. False Morels are beautiful but deadly. This mushroom species seems delicious. It is, but it's potentially fatal if eaten raw. It is a popular delicacy in Scandinavia, Eastern Europe, and the upper Great Lakes region of North America. This mushroom's toxin is the gyromitrin and affects the liver, central nervous system and the kidneys. Symptoms of poisoning involve vomiting and diarrhea several hours after consumption, followed by dizziness, lethargy and headache. Severe cases may lead to delirium, coma and death after 5-7 days.

The semester is over and during my ENC1102 class, I was discussing travel plans with a friend that had just gotten back from North Myrtle Beach where he stayed at Prince Resort at the Cherry Grove Pier. His trip was focused around golfing, so I knew the grounds and surrounding activities would be perfect.
I have been to some of the North Myrtle Beach Resorts before, but when he explained to me that this particular resort had some fabulous new luxury suites with wonderful views, and only a short stroll from the coasts best fishing, I had to look into it.

My fiance and I were looking for a destination where we could relax, shop, and fish, so the Prince Resort was the ideal destination. It's situated close to shopping, attractions, and lets not forget a fantastic golf course. North Myrtle Beach wouldn't be complete without 18 holes.

The prices are competitive and well worth it, especially if you are planning a romantic getaway or a family vacation. My fiance and I are actually looking into the facilities for our wedding, so I urge you to look into it today.

 

I'll always remember water slides as being those cheap yellow plastic toys you hooked up to your sprinkle. However, when I was old enough to ride the real thing, I went to my first water park with my family, and I never thought it could be so much fun. One of my best summer experiences was working at the Beach Water Park in Mason, Ohio as a lifeguard. I had to take a grueling swim test and wear a tight one piece bathing suit that rode up my behind every time I tried to walk.

The best way to escape the normal is to dive into the abnormal. I was looking for some really bizarre and interesting haunted locations for my next vacation and I stumbled upon these great stories.

We’ve all heard about numerous haunting around the United States, but we can’t help but wonder which of the many cities is the most haunted. New Orleans, Louisiana, is considered the number one haunted city in the United States. With over 200 years of ghostly legends involving Voodoo curses, Spanish moss draped oak encircled duels, cold-blooded murders, stories of Revolutionary War Pirates and Civil War soldiers; New Orleans has earned a serious reputation as one of the most haunted cities.

The earliest known reference to baseball is in a 1744 British publication, A Little Pretty Pocket-Book, by John Newbery.

It contains a rhymed description of "base-ball" and a woodcut that shows a field set-up somewhat similar to the modern game—though in a triangular rather than diamond configuration, and with posts instead of ground-level bases.

So much had changed over the years, but so many things have stayed the same.

I always get nostalgic when I think of going to Chicago. My grandpa would purchase Wrigley Field Tickets to see the Cubs play, and I would wear my pin striped hat with pink tails.

"Fenway Park is a baseball park near Kenmore Square in Boston, Massachusetts. Located at 4 Yawkey Way, it has served as the home ballpark of the Boston Red Sox baseball club since it opened in 1912. It is the oldest of all current Major League Baseball stadiums."

Who wouldn't appreciate this stadium, even if you are a Yankee Fan, you have to appreciate the history that goes along with it. I think that's why I purchased Fenway Park tickets. Well, I have to admit, it was more of an obsession with Field of Dreams that got me there in the first place. Can you tell I'm a tomboy?


Baseball has been America's favorite pastime for years, so it's only fitting that you would also purchase Yankee Stadium Tickets to see the New York Yankees in person. I did this years ago, and even though I wasn't just a fan of the Yankee's, I still loved the crowd and the experience.

What does the future hold? Will the World end in 2012? Will the Sun put off solar flares to cook the earth? Will global warming be our demise? What's with all the doomsday talk?

Over the the past 6 months, I have been subjected to every national disaster scenario in my Geology class as well as the movie theater. It's really quite depressing and a bit terrifying that these predictions are floating around.

One of the most famous individuals in history to predict these happenings was Nostradamus. Nostradamus was said to decode the Bible, introducing prophecies that have outlined major world events, including the end of the world. He would use trance and meditation to arrive at certain predictions hidden in the words of the Bible.
